23376 FUJITA Kyohei (Hand-blown decorative small box, autumn leaves)

Height 7.5cm Width 8.1cm

Decorative boxes are called "DREAM BOX" overseas and are revered as the ultimate glass art.

This item is not a decorative box but a small decorative box.

It is very small compared to decorative boxes that are around 15cm tall, and exudes a cute atmosphere.

As the title suggests, this decorative box depicts autumn leaves, fitting for the current season, and the contrast with the gold leaf creates an eye-catching, vibrant color.

Kyohei Fujita studied metal engraving at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts and then mastered glass art in Italy. He established a unique style of glass art in Japan and has been recognized worldwide, receiving a succession of honours including Member of the Japan Art Academy, Person of Cultural Merit and the Order of Culture. This piece is one of his greatest strengths and has been highly praised. His technique of elevating the piece to a highly refined masterpiece through the expression of delicate shading is truly a miracle.
